UNITED PRESBYTERIANS.

The Appeal of an Iowa Church for the AbOl-
ishing of Instrumental Music not Sustained
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-The general
assembly of the United Presbyterian
church of North America continued its
session here to- day. The general com
mittee on home missions presented its
report in the course of which 1t said one
of two things must be done. Either our
mission work must be much centracte
or the gifts of the church must at once
be greatly increased. The outlay of six,
ty thousand dollars cannot be met with
an income of forty thousand dollars.
The report on church extension was
discussed at some length and favorably
acted upon. During the discussion the
question of instrumental music came up
again, and there were some rather caustic
debates. DIR. Carson finally presented a
resolution that mo part of the money ap.
propriated in this report shall be ex-
pended in any congregation which is
known to use instrumental music in con-
nection with the worship of God" The
vote was, for instrumental music, 122;
against it, So.
DR.. Carson read protest against the
action of the assembly and several mem
bers signifed their intention of signing
it. The last Sunday of June is named to
be observed as missionary day by the
Sunday schools and the third day of Oc-
tOber as day of prayer for Sunday
schools. Rev. J. A. Monteith Of the first
church of Cedar Rapids Iowa, invited the
general assembly to hold it's next SEES
sion at that place, and the invitation was
accepted. Davenport Iowa, was chosen
as the place of meeting Of the board of
mission.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-Another long
debate on the music question occupied
the general assembly of the United Pres
byterian church to-day. The direct cause
Of the issue was the use of the organ, by
Rev. j. T. Tates church, at Keokuk, Iowa,
to which objection had been made first to
the local Presbyterian and then to the
synod of Iowa. In each case the body
declined to interfere. An appeal
was finally made to the assembly
and the committee to whom the
matter was referred that the pro-
hibitory law forbidding the use of in
strumental music in the worship of God
had been repealed and this leaves the
sessions at liberty to introduce such
music as they may deem wise and profit
able. Therefore there is no legal ground
for action and the appeal is not sus-
tanned.

RAINS have been falling in Texas, and
now the crop reports from that state are
the most favorable of any from the south.
The long drouth seems to be thoroughly
broken. The record of the rainfall for
May throughout the cotton belt of Texas,
as compiled from signal service reports,
shows more satisfactory condition of
affairs than on May L. The mean precip-
itation over agricultural Texas for May
less than the average during the past five
years. Eastern Texas and these sections
as consequence, report most favorable
outlook for cotton.
